Another QT3-15 Block Making Machine Served In Philippines
January 16, 2018 – Fujian Unik Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. (founded in 2008) is pleased to announce that another QT3-15 fully automatic block making machine has been successfully loaded and shipped to the Philippines. The client, PACO Block, is a well-established construction company with over 20 years of experience in the Philippine construction industry.
Prior to this purchase, PACO Block had been operating primarily with manual block-based equipment, which suffered from low output and limited efficiency. However, driven by the company's own engineering needs and the rapidly growing Philippine block market, the customer made the strategic decision to enhance their brick factory's production capacity and operational efficiency.
Philippines Construction Market: A Growth Powerhouse
The Philippine construction industry has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, creating significant opportunities for concrete block manufacturers. The country's construction market was valued at USD 43.44 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow from USD 46.31 billion in 2026 to reach USD 63.77 billion by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate of 6.61% during the forecast period (2026-2031).
Public infrastructure spending under the government's "Build Better More" (BBM) program continues to drive headline growth, with more than USD 27.4 billion of capital released for infrastructure projects. The legally mandated infrastructure floor of 5-6% of GDP stabilizes annual budget flows, while a USD 162 billion pipeline of public-private partnership opportunities has been unlocked.
In addition, USD 47.4 billion in private funds has been poured into Philippine infrastructure projects, spanning rail, roads, airports, schools, hospitals, affordable housing, renewables, and healthcare, representing 251 projects under the Public-Private Partnership scheme.
Strong Demand for Concrete Hollow Blocks
The Philippines bricks market is valued at approximately USD 28 billion, driven by expansive demand for cement, aggregates, and bricks under major infrastructure spending. Demand for concrete hollow blocks (CHBs) is projected to increase at a significant rate of approximately 5% annually from 2024 to 2032, fueled by ongoing housing projects, urbanization trends, and sustained public infrastructure expansion.
The government's 4PH housing program, which targets 1 million housing units annually, sustains the dominant residential segment and drives consistent demand for quality masonry products. This creates a sustained and growing market for concrete block making machines across the archipelago, from Luzon to Mindanao.
Customer Success Story: PACO Block's Journey with UNIK
Recognizing the immense potential of the Philippine block market, PACO Block's chairman led his team of engineers to visit UNIK's manufacturing facility in China for a comprehensive inspection. The client had already seen UNIK's equipment operating successfully at block factories in several cities across the Philippines, where the equipment's performance and reliability made a strong impression.
The purpose of their visit was to gain an in-depth understanding of UNIK's capabilities and product quality. Over the course of two days, UNIK's sales representatives and technical managers engaged in detailed discussions with the client's engineering team, addressing all questions regarding the operation of the complete production line equipment and brick factory management. Together, they designed an optimal production line plan tailored to PACO Block's specific needs and production goals.
Impressed by UNIK's professionalism, product quality, and comprehensive support, the client arranged the deposit on the same day. Currently, PACO Block is actively preparing foundation construction in their plant area, with plant construction estimated to be completed by the middle of next month. At that time, UNIK's engineers will travel to the site to assist with installation, commissioning, and operator training.
